RPA.Browser library is lacking support for multiple browser instances

[mikahanninen]

There is need to provide alias parameter to Open Available Browser keyword.

User comments about the problem https://robocorp-developers.slack.com/archives/CH1GSKJ3U/p1596380462275000 onwards

workaround for the problem was to create custom keyword

*** Keywords ***
My RPA Browser
    [Arguments]   ${alias} 
    ${chrome_options}=  Evaluate  sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()  sys, selenium.webdriver
    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    --disable-extensions
    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    --headless
    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    --disable-gpu
    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    --no-sandbox
    Create Webdriver    Chrome    chrome_options=${chrome_options}  alias=${alias}

Using the My RPA Browser keyword caused errors in the cloud that do not happen when running in a local worker, or using Open Available Browser.

Using OAB does not cause the same errors, but also does not work with Switch Browser.

Support for aliases and regression with Switch Browser fixed in release 2.4.0.
